The Capitoline Museum is Worth the Time - Great works from many different time periods at the Capitoline. 10/10 recommend.
The multimedia video was perhaps unnecessary. It was cool, but not a must-do.

Great! - This museum is a must see. The exhibits are well laid out and it wasn’t crowded at all while we were there. We could have stayed several more hours had we scheduled our entry time earlier.

Awesome site - One of the best sites we saw in Rome this is totally worth the money to skip the line. Be in the look out for the ticket procurer and tour guide they can sometimes be hidden and it can be confusing.

Great art and organization - Easy entry. Museum staff was very helpful with directions. The art collection is fabulous. The cafeteria had tasty panini and the staff moved quickly. Don’t forget to see the view from the restaurant terrace. It was a great day!!

Rome visit - Excellent museum with so many iconic exhibitions. Well presented.Magnificent views from roof top terrace. Nice reasonably priced cafe . High point for me was seeing the state of Romulus and Remus and being so close.

Capitoline Museum - The Capitoline Museum is a must see. But the ticket voucher/ printout was not accepted at the museum. The redemption location was not clear. I had to climb several long flights of stairs up to the piazzo, back down again. 20 minutes searching for redemption ticket exchange which was on the other side of a busy traffic circle and back up the steps again. That should not have to happen with clear instructions and a map. I’d rate the museum 5-stars and getting there 1-star.

This is a SCAM - Viator has let us down this whole trip. After walking up a giant hill in the heat, the attendant at the museum was super rude and told us that this was not a real ticket. After speaking with the ticket office, we were told to go to the the tourist office to get our paper tickets. After doing that we were still unable to get in. The attendant said we had to go buy another ticket. This is a scam. I paid $78 for fake tickets. The admission tickets were only 14 euros and there was no line. Don’t bother with this.

Pass if you have time constraints, Rome has much better to offer. - We went to the Capitoline museum with the Fidias (Phidias) exhibit because I am a great lover of Greek and Roman ancient culture. I was SO excited about the Fidias exhibit after reading that it was the first of its kind, pieces were being reunited, etc. etc. I am so disappointed! There were 3 tiny end pieces that were painted which were supposedly from the Parthenon. The rest were casts or maps of late Roman empire copies of what was thought to have something to do with the Parthenon. We went around the area twice thinking that we must have missed part of it. The Capitoline museum was not earth shaking either. We followed this visit with the Etruscan museum Villa Guilia which was fantastic in every way. If you have time constraints, I would pass on the Capitoline museum.

A real pain to get the tickets. - Getting the tickets was a pain. Had to spend more time finding the pick up location than if I just stood in line and bought them.

Horrible Experience - Totally disorganized with Tourstation having us scheduled for the wrong date and no one to assist you. Entered museum with help of security, folks save your money buy your tickets at museum for 4.50E per person vs, $78.00 paid to Viator.
